The Washington Examiner is an American conservative news outlet based in Washington, D.C., consisting of a website and a weekly printed magazine. It is owned by Philip Anschutz through MediaDC, a subsidiary of Clarity Media Group. From 2005 to 2013, the Examiner published a daily tabloid-sized newspaper, distributed throughout the Washington, D.C. metro area. The newspaper focused primarily on local news and political commentary. The local newspaper ceased publication on June 14, 2013, whereupon its content began to focus almost exclusively on national politics from a conservative point of view. The Examiner switched its print edition from a daily newspaper to an expanded print weekly magazine format.
Media’s struggle to survive driven by ideological suicide
Though no simple explanation exists for why traditional media are losing the struggle to survive in the digital era, much of the industry’s woes can be attributed to self-inflicted wounds. Mass media production, for instance, taught audiences long ago that they don’t have to pay directly for the news. Who wants to shell out for information that will eventually appear elsewhere at no cost, whether on the radio, news aggregation websites, or televisions in public spaces? Not enough paying customers, that’s who.

Fired News Anchors Who Wouldn't Just Go Away
In an opinion piece for The Washington Post, editor Leonard Downie Jr. — who worked on The Post's history-making story about the Watergate cover-up — suggested that the way forward for the journalistic profession is to move beyond outdated ideas of "objectivity." Instead of seeing nonpartisanship as a virtue, Downie wrote, newsrooms should focus on building trust with readers. Joseph Kahn, executive editor of The New York Times, told Downie, "When the evidence is there, we should be clear and direct with our audience that we don't think there are multiple sides to this question, this is a falsehood. And the person repeating this falsehood over and over is guilty of lying." (The List 6/1/24)READ MORE>>>>>

Trump “Playing Chicken” Says Ex-Conservative Columnist
In her Washington Post column, Rubin wrote that the GOP party “has grievously betrayed democracy and abandoned simple decency and honesty. Whatever alternative to the toxic waste dump of the Trump GOP arises to replace it may be worth considering — but only if it embodies the most basic American creed (‘We the people. . .’) and abandons veneration of authoritarianism.” (2paragraphs 5/20/24) READ MORE>>>>>
